Just 2.5 hours from Melbourne and a perfect stop when travelling between Melbourne and Sydney, Mewburn Park Retreats is a 400-acre private working farm offering history and quiet country luxury.

At its centre is the original 1850s colonial Homestead, alongside the historic Stables, surrounded by rolling farmland and established gardens that reflect the property's heritage.

Mewburn Park Retreats offers two unique cabin stays designed for slow, restorative escapes in nature.

The Lakehouse sits on the water's edge with uninterrupted lake views, a private deck, and a bath under the stars. With no minimum night stay, it's ideal for spontaneous getaways, midweek breaks, or stopovers between Melbourne and Sydney.

The Mountain View Cabin is set higher on the property, with sweeping views across the Great Dividing Range. Designed for privacy and stillness, it offers slow mornings in the window nook, long afternoons on the deck, and evenings in the wood-fired hot tub as the sun sets over the hills.

Both cabins are just two minutes from Maffra or a relaxed ride along the Rail Trail, with complimentary bikes provided. The trail also connects to the award-winning Tinamba Hotel.

Mewburn Park is a sought-after wedding and events venue, with garden ceremonies and a clear-span marquee.

Whether for romance, rest, or a unique country stay near Melbourne, Mewburn Park offers space to slow down and reconnect.
